LMFAOOOOO
to be fair it's easier to know what's happening in Nigeria from America than it is in Nigeria.

I know, but Asha is a particularly news-lazy guy. Was just teasing him

asha80:
do you have the whole speech?

Dude, you are in Nigeria, I am in America, 1000s of miles away. You should be better able to find the whole transcript than me.

SenseiX:
With the State governor, CBN governor, NNPC GMD and now minister coming from just one part of the state, it might reignite those tensions.

This should not be supported in a country such as Nigeria. For me, Buhari should look at who is the least qualified, effective and efficient on these jobs and replace the person with a qualified person from another part of Delta. Not sure that the CBN Gov is really fit for the job. Can we have someone who is non Igboid in Delta for that position?

Ofodirinwa:
Minister of National Planning for saying something that's total common sense. I would like to hear someone put science behind what they plan to do outside of saying the obvious, because it's clearly deeper than the obvious.

Some others will deport you to your own part of Nigeria. Between that and what Utomi said, which one do you prefer?

SenseiX:
It is however weird though that both Utomi and Kachikwu come from the same part of Delta.

You are right and it is a quagmire. How do you get the best without being insensitive to the diversity of Nigeria?
If there was no history of tribalism, sectionalism, ethnic cheating and bias in Nigeria, I would ordinarily overlook this.

Ofodirinwa:
I feel that Utomi is more talk than credential.
He makes his 'ideas' and 'plans' very clear and you can view them on Youtube. None of them show an understanding on any particular subject beyond that of a reasonably intelligent common person. He's a politician with a technocratic gimmick.

He's educated, but not exceptional like Ngozi Iweala, Oteh, and the other technocrats in the previous admin. His highest career achievement was workng as COO at volkswagen Nigeria...

He seems like a big picture guy. At this point Nigeria needs strategic planning which can only be brought about by big picture guys who would then set the broad landscape that real technocrats and niche experts can play on and deliver.

I hope Utomi can become the minister of national planning. He is very right about Lagos.
How do you expect people not to flock to Lagos where the FG concentrated everything that is national in Nigeria?

"We need to decongest Lagos not by forcing people out of Lagos, but by attracting people out of Lagos... Pat Utomi

Modified by me with the material in bold below for emphasis:

"We need to decongest Lagos not by forcing people out of Lagos (like Fashola deportation ?) but by attracting people out of Lagos...

chuna1985:
No white man can hear buharis intonation.

It's not even about the accent, it's the content of the speech. It was probably too shallow in content.

lanrehamd:
GEJ is only talking to Mama piss, Alison and Mama Ngozi

While MB was talking to fulanis and arabs only

change49ja:
He's even better compared to GEJ

GEJ is not your president. Stop being a stuuuupid revisionist. Deal with the present.

Above Obama
Below Buhari
You compare and contrast

ahnie:
I dont understand

What don't you understand? Oyibo eats akpu just like Igbos

ademega:
comedy I guess

Nope! Its trending on a KENYAN facebook page. The people are so angry with the govt.

Like Naija like Kenya. IS AFRICA DOOMED?

Inauguration of a mega bridge by a Kenyan govt official. This bridge is said to have cost millions of Kenyan Shillings to build. Keep in mind that Kenyan Shillings is stronger than Naira

tobloj:
do you even understand the rubbish you typed

Of course I do not. I only know that today Ambode accused Fasola of kwaruption. The more you look...... the less Yoruba gba oju re!!!

See what Yorubas are doing to Nigeria. Stealing oil is not kwaruption. On top of that they killed security officers. I only hope all the murdered DSS officers are Yorubas. Gambari pa Fulani, ko si ija niyen

ibedun:
Hardworking Igbos................Yoruba too lazyyyyy

When is Bankole, Iyabo Obasanjo, Tinubu and Fasola going to jail for corruption? Is it when the ''most righteous'' north returns Ilorin to ''lazy'' Yorubas?

Bode George has gone to kirikiri and returned, but I do not remember what happened again to Tafa Balogun and his brother Ehindero.

I dey laff oh!!!!

Op on point, and why is this not on fp?

Rexnegro:
You remember the founder Clifford orji ? He's a yoruba man too abi ? Smh

Did you know that clifford orji lived in SW all his life and learned his trade from them? Did you also know he had an associate who was Yoruba, Tijani by name?

sukkot:
you dont understand. we yoruba, broke their spirit on nairaland and now they are timid. see, they started it and yoruba kept quiet. then all of a sudden every yoruba awoke to their abuse and all got activated at the same time and a billion yorubas went on the ' take an ndigbo mans head off ' rampage on nairaland. the igbos saw the venom and got scared and it broke their spirit. now they are timid because their spirit is broken. but you better believe igbo started this whole tribal mess on nairaland after jonathan lost

You are new to Nairaland, apparently. So in your half-trained mind Nairaland tribalism started only after the last election?

meccuno:
the North ran this country the way they ran their region.....that's why since independence, we have not seen any reasonable development

Old story. Soludo said this many years ago as the CBN Gov. Ngozi Iweala said same too in the past. This Yoruba VP of a mere commissioner is now only tagging along

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
Some people who showed here to attack northerners and the governor were disappointed to find the actual tribe of the victims

Victims are Igbos
The killers are muslim northerners.

Rawani:
A problem well stated is a problem half-solved.

- Charles Kettering

Over the last 16 years out of power, the North experienced a lull in development due to the absence of quality, visionary and responsible leadership which saw the existing challenges brought about by decades of military rule, worsen while everyone played Ostrich.

The acknowledgement of these challenges and call to arms by the Northern governors will enable the creation of a developmental roadmap for Arewa which will see her vast agricultural, solid mineral and human resources exploited for her economic benefit through strategic planning and emphasis on education, while attracting FDI by enacting friendly policies and terms amidst an atmosphere of peace and security.

Two things I do not get here
1. Do you mean the North should exploit its solid minerals for its own benefit, while oil resource of the south is for everyone?
2. Which human resource? You mean the sheer number of human beings, 95% of whom are productively underwater? What is the quality of the human resource of the North?

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
Even in Nigeria, an Igbo man will not mind pushing me like that, so I don't care! I don't expect to get from an Arab the love I can't get from my fellow countryman.

Like hausa and fulani have been killing fellow country persons all over Nigeria.

vicadex07:
will you just shut up already

See ABA here basking in all its glory


THE WHOLE OF ABA IS A REFUSE DUMP. ibos are dirty and stinky

More than half of those photos are from SW. YOU ARE A CHEAT. HONESTY IS LACKING AMONGST THIEVES

Ibadan = ^5 million people, but only 5% live in good and modern houses

macof:
Yet ur brothers rush to the city leaving their family and homeland

They come to strip you of your little money, which, given the huge population, can be dramatic - little drops, they say, make an ocean. BTW, the indigenes are too brain dead to know how to make money.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Zinc is not Africa's heritage and Rust is quite unattractive.
A housing architecture alone can tell a lot about its age, so the roofs should be upgraded and the houses repainted .
In my opinion, the occupants of such houses don't have money to upgrade. There is no rich man living there

Correct. The few rich there have modern houses, having pulled down the old ones. There is a place called Akobo in Ibadan, it's all new houses there. But mokola, dugbe, adeoyo, gbagi, molete, sango, ife road, ojoo, sabo, and other places making up 90% of the city landscape are decrepit. I once lived in Ibadan and so I know this.

JingoOAU:
Accepted, but they haven't been desperate to eat your free porridge...if you see Ibadan and it's people like dat, so be it...so are u satisfied?

They have been desperate. Adedibu was feeding folks thrice daily until he passed.
